Hi, I'm keen to extend sigrok to support the Agilent 16700 series of logic analyzer mainframes and I'm looking for a bit of support where best to start.
The 16700 units are versatile and high-performance systems which are affordable via second-hand markets. They have modules which can measure transitions up to 2GHz and trigger at 600MHz on hundreds of channels (as well as support oscilloscope cards so they can have up to 8x500MHz analog channels too), so great for pretty much anything *except* they're missing modern serial protocol support. I have three of the units now with a variety of cards, as well as a 16500 series unit. With such high channel counts I'm dreaming of making ZIF adapters that I put on top of chips in circuit and just capturing all pins at once into pulseview. I think there's two approaches to the implementation, either (1) learn to parse the file format that the systems use to export to a desktop pc, or (2) use the remote programming interface over the network. I'd prefer the latter as I'd like to be able to control the system via pulseview. Can you tell me if there's any work on agilent/keysight's file format already underway? Also, can you point me to a good example of a driver for a MSO or something similar using a network connection? The agilent just uses telnet/text so nothing complicated is needed there. I couldn't find SCPI-based drivers in my quick search which should also be a similar implementation. Marcus
